Guozijian little cook

Chapter 500: Get cement
Zhao Lin looks gentle, but if his subordinates really make mistakes, his attitude when training them is quite scary.

But overall, he is still a very easy boss to get along with.

Although Xiao Nianzhi still wanted to stay in the official kiln to engage in cement, he had just been promoted and had to report to his superiors.

Even if he is just a temporary boss, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Therefore, after returning to Xiao Mansion to tidy up briefly, Xiao Nianzhi went to the Ministry of Industry Yamen to report first.

The Ministry of Works has been the busiest recently because it has the largest number of employees.

Many of the corresponding officials did not take over so quickly, so many people simply wore multiple hats.

Xiao Nianzhi was lucky. Zhao Lin happened to be at the Yamen on the day he arrived.

The two of them had met before when they were burning glass, and now that they meet again, they are not strangers.

Zhao Lin still had a very good impression of Xiao Nianzhi, so His Majesty originally asked him, what about arranging someone to come to the Ministry of Works?
Zhao Lin was very happy and agreed.

As for some old-fashioned people saying, women are like that.

Zhao Lin said directly: What's the matter?You were not born a girl?Do you still have the nerve to talk about this and that?
Now that he saw people coming, Zhao Lin was even happier.

Even though the Ministry of Works was busy recently, he still personally led people and packed up an office for Xiao Nianzhi's sole use.

Although he felt that Xiao Nianzhi would probably not be able to use it.

In fact, when Xiao Nianzhi was going to make a report, he went directly to the official kiln. It's not that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce didn't have an outfield, but it wasn't as convenient as the on-site venue there.

As soon as Zhao Lin heard that there was a new research direction, she immediately waved her hand to express her agreement and assigned several low-level officials to her use.

Xiao Nianzhi didn't refuse, and took the people directly to the official kiln.

With His Majesty's decree, and Yan Xingxuan's decree, responsible for protecting Xiao Nianzhi, there is no need to worry about Xiao Nianzhi's safety for the time being.

A lot of preliminary preparation work for cement was carried out.

Xiao Nianzhi wrote a lot of notes, and Yan Xingxuan learned a lot from them.

After the two people went to the official kiln, they first prepared the necessary materials and then started firing directly!
This thing should be burned out early and used early!

Therefore, after arriving at the official kiln and starting preparations, Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan got busy.

This busy schedule lasted from April to May.

Many finished products have been released one after another, but the proportions will determine the hardness of the final cement.

If the hardness is not enough, there will definitely be some problems later.

For example, it cannot withstand the wind and frost.

Don't underestimate ancient things. Many things have not decayed after thousands of years. Xiao Nianzhi didn't want to make a joke and planned to make fake cement. After three or five years, it cracked directly.

Of course, after this thing has experienced wind and frost, it is inevitable that there will be some cracks and the like.

However, that is a matter of proportion when the sand is mixed later.

There is no problem with the early ratio, and the later ratio will be adjusted well, which will reduce the probability of this problem.

Moreover, Xiao Nianzhi didn't want to take this out too easily. If it looked easy, it would make it difficult for people to cherish it.

So, take your time and don’t rush.

During the process, I also exchanged experiences with the agricultural supervisors and gave them some suggestions.

After all, Xiao Nianzhi is also someone who has worked in Shanglinyuan. We are all working in the same field, and it is easier to communicate about many things.

So, go over there and communicate from time to time.

Regarding the matter of seed hybridization, there were too many things involved, and Xiao Nianzhi felt that he could not help at the moment.She may not be able to help everyone increase production now, but she can help everyone reduce the possibility of production reduction.

For example, to avoid various diseases and pests, today's agronomy officials are reminded how to select seeds and avoid various diseases and pests in the later period, so as to reduce possible losses.

With fewer pests and diseases and less damage, subsequent yields will naturally increase indirectly.

The officials in charge of agricultural supervision also have their own thinking ability.

Xiao Nianzhi's mention, in particular, means that many seeds in nature are very resistant. Why don't you try to bring them over and plant them together with our seeds, or plant them separately, and compare them. Finally, yield per mu.

The Agricultural Supervisor also has an experimental field here, so they can definitely do this kind of thing.

A group of officials felt that Xiao Nianzhi's words made sense, and they spent most of April searching in the wild.

For this reason, they slightly pushed back the time for spring planting in the experimental fields of the Agricultural Supervision Bureau.

They need to wait for the seedlings in the wild to grow and then try to dig them back up!

As for seeds?

How to dig seeds in the wild?
You can only wait for one year to plant and harvest in autumn to see the results.

Because the rebellion was handled well in the follow-up, the impact of this incident on the capital's governments was gradually diminishing.

Various exchanges or contacts among the powerful people in the capital are also tentatively resumed.

In May, Xiao Nianzhi's third batch of finished cement products finally came out.

In fact, the finished product that came out before is not bad, and everyone has been amazed by it.

But Xiao Nianzhi said he was not satisfied, so His Majesty let her continue to fiddle with it.

Zhao Lin has been here twice and is full of praise for the finished product.

Now that the finished product is out again, Zhao Lin came over without stopping as soon as he heard the news.

The Ministry of Works has handled all the related matters well. Although the staff is still uneven, at least everyone can deal with the day-to-day affairs without too much pressure.

The new minister is still not in place. Depending on your majesty's intention, he may train Zhao Lin and then let him take over directly.

In the past, Your Majesty allowed the Song family and the Third Prince to be indulged, and maybe he also had the intention to compete with the Prince's group.

After all, he's not old yet, so it's better to let the prince's faction dominate now, right?

However, now that the Song family has rebelled, the third prince is dead, and the seventh prince is still involved in the rebellion, and is still being held in the seventh prince's mansion, waiting for the follow-up treatment.

The events of this year have stimulated His Majesty to a great extent, making him much older all of a sudden, and he is probably willing to let go of his rights.

Therefore, he does not plan to create any more checks and balances, and has the intention of allowing the prince's faction to grow.

It is also because of this that even though Zhao Lin, as the third uncle of the Crown Princess, was apparently a member of the Prince's faction, he was allowed to go up. Most of the power in the six ministries was now owned by the Prince's faction, and His Majesty did not seem to care.

Of course, everything is just Xiao Nianzhi's guess.

Who becomes the minister actually has little influence on her.

Of course, if his character was not good enough, Xiao Nianzhi would stab him in the back if he didn't want to, and stab him directly in front of His Majesty!

Zhao Lin brought people over. When he saw the finished product, he actually wondered: So, is this any different from the previous one?

They all look gray.

How about giving it a try?
